- technotony 12y agoWe are in touch with the Glofish founders, their business is doing well and they are in thousands of retails stores. The biggest difference though is that we have a very strong technical team who can continue to develop and improve our products, Glofish licenses from an academic research group. Like a software business this is a rapidly evolving technology so its important to have technical co-founders - YC obviously understands this!
- pcrh 12y agoI'd like to see this in a plant like a climbing rose. It would be very neat to cover a trellis, gazebo, or something similar!
- SixSigma 12y agoI think people are more sensitive to having GM animals, which is kind of irrational when compared to the hideous monsters selective breeding has generated in goldfish. I'd never have a glofish but I'd buy a plant in a heartbeat. I'd guess you'd sell a lot of these through retail on impulse, just like carnivorous plants - kids get dragged to the DIY superstore and walk away with a pacifying plant.
